Who the fuck is spending all this money on archiving every post on 4chan? What do they want with our data? I hope you take measures to hide your digital footprint online, anons.
>>108074811I jerk off to years old /trash/ gooning threads
Better question, who is behind archive.is? (or whatever domain they're on now) and who is funding them?
>every postShit before 2012 is long gone from 90% of these.
I'm jealous of archive runners. I will never feel the autistic fulfillment of having larger than 2-digit number of people voluntarily visit my site
>>108074903OP is a pretty valid question, let's start by that one since we're on 4chan
>>108074811All those 4chan archives are paid and owned by the U.S justice departament in order to use the posts as evidence in court.
>>108076983>so you see your honor, someone... somewhere... said this. Prosecution rests.
>>108074811Literally Jeffrey Epstein
It's a natural impulse to try and preserve the memory of your community, has become all but impossible for certain boards with their traffic being 80% bots.But considering the proven whistleblower and recently Epstein, I can only imagine the gems waiting to be found. You should be concerned about the people intending to take them down.
>>108074811>all this moneyIt's not that expensive, as long as you blacklist all the dedicated AI slop threads like sdg and so on.t. wrote my own 4chan archiver, used to archive all of /pol/ during happenings like Ukraine invasion, Gaza war etc.
>>108074811I'll attest that back earlier last year around the hack time it appeared that 4chan stopped auto renewal of its tls certs, so there were several mornings you couldn't access 4chan, lasted about an hour, no one complianed.during this time i checked on 4plebs, it too had its https cert expire. Which suggested to me either a very unfortuituous coincidence or 4plebs is 4chan >>108076983wouldn't be surprised if its coming out of mcconnel or eglin afbnot sure about warosu or desuarchive very strange one is with pic related wakarimasen and the mystery to why it had to shut downhttps://archive.wakarimasen.moe/>What do they want with our datait's probably a much more valuable training corpus for grey market AI / gov AIs
>>108077011Once you are prosecuted by the U.S departament justice they will have green light to have access to both your devices and your ISP logs, so they only will need match all that info with the '4chan's archives'
>>108076983>>108077172What is the injustice department gonna do? Arrest me for hating antiwhite scum of the earth?
>>108074811I mean for just text most posts including metadata are less than a kilobyte uncompressed in a database.>name>post number>post timestamp (unix)>thread number>comment (html)So if the average post is 0.5 kb you can save over two billion (2,000,000,000) posts per terabyte. And that's without compression. Assuming /g/ has triple the average post size because of code blocks, all the text ever posted to /g/ is like 150 gb (again, that's including metadata and with zero compression).
